I’ve had DM’s from people asking what cuts @shandro is STILL barging ahead with on April 1 despite a pandemic. This thread attempts to summarize ALL the remaining cuts @GoAHealth is threatening for docs. Some remain huge ??’s, thus why income for clinics in 12 days is UNKNOWN. 👇
1) Complex modifiers - the #10minutemedicine problem. Docs want to spend TIME providing thorough and quality care to pts, and the 15-24 min modifier @shandro targeted is a sweet spot btwn access & comprehensiveness. On HOLD for now as limp attempt to assuage +*public/doc protests
2) Comprehensive care plans - another MASSIVE hit to family physicians providing continuity of care to Complex patients. These plans allowed time for education, proactive mngmt and setting shared goals of care. GONE as of Apr 1
The government’s removal of the time modifier is aimed at saving $200 million, which is about half of the #healthcarecuts government is looking for. (1/13) #ABdocs4patients
#Healthpolicy research and basic economics both suggest that the government’s proposal is in the wrong direction. It will not save money; it will damage health. (2/13)
The incentive is toward the short visit, with physicians spending less time with patients. #10minutemedicine (3/13)
